hi all today i have stripped it completely and i must say its the same procedure as my other one needs new floor panel door steps bottom rear panel both inner wings scuttle needs attention new boot floor new rear arches maybe a new front end and toe board. so looking at it now by the time i have finished doing all this welding there wont be much of original body left so its going to need a new paint job. after thinking about it i might asswell restore it so its mint. but tuned up more so then original. here is some pictures for you all next job is to cut out the rot and start putting new panels in not sure where to start tho lol cheers tom

When you consider the state or rather lack of the floor the rest of it seems in pretty good condition ! Can you get complete early floors or is it possible to modify a late one ?

I'd keep your other one as a standard mk1 to keep the purists happy, and then modify this one a bit and have a bit more of a fun mk1!

 

Could have a nice little historic?

I had no idea you was doing another mk1 already Tom!

 

Same procedure as the white one by the looks of it!

 

Wish i had the space for more than 1 project, especially an early Min.

 

Good luck with this Tom, Look forward to the updates!

 

Ben
